If anything you could update and add some new features, decide on a hardfork if needed.
i also think it would be positive to get the block time under control, and also to make a less resource intensive code base.
i dont see the point in running the daemon atm. i need to leave it running for 24/7 with nothing else happening on the server or else it never syncs let alone stakes.
i also agree with this and its been mentioned a few times now. EXCL needs to address this, other coins with similar parameters have lost their momentum because of issues like this, too many blocks a minute and dust amounts being allowed to stake will spoil and prevent adoption of this coin long term as the wallet will simply be too troublesome for an average user.
other changes that would benefit add a min required input for example of 50 EXCL and then prevent lesser amounts from staking. Also add auto combining of inputs for staking so that dust and previously split inputs can regroup upto the newly specified coin amount.
Why I was saying it would be better to go POS only is because it does so much more for the price itself but if you really want survival then it would be best to increase the Block times to a few minutes and treat it as more of an investment. The main reason for suggesting that it's most beneficial to be POS only is because it costs so much to mine with POW and that causes a drain on investment because miners need to pay the cost of mining so if it's increasing in value then you will get more POW miners driving down the price rather than if its POS only to have holders to make ROI with the very small amount of resources it takes to Stake.
So your suggestion is to increase block reward; decrease block time; and require the minimum input of 50 excl for staking. looks good to me.
